    Looks great mate! I have recently gotten the same spec! @Phoenix is a master when it comes to tweaking windows 10. Hit him up when you receive your beast!

    cheers

    One thing I would suggest is to get the most warranty you can afford, better to keep this beast of a laptop safe and covered rather then paying huge amounts of cash to fix potential issues that aren't covered anymore!

    Oh I shall good sir. I have heard much about your Windows prowess already. Don't worry it's not Home edition.

    Thanks to @Phoenix for taking the time to tweak this rig for me. However we noticed that the CPU hits 95 Celsius after 3 minutes of AIDA64 stress testing. With regular gaming at max setting i dont even break 70 *and this is with it sitting on the bed* ambient temps ~30 C. Should i be concerned? CPU is delidded and undervolted to -80 mV. @Mr. Fox @Papusan @bloodhawk

    EDIT: had Teamviewer running with Phoenix while stress testing, all is good now
